Can you use macadamia nut oil for skin rejuvenation?
The answer is a big YES, absolutely!
There are some people who think that macadamia nut oil is only good
for kitchen use, particularly as an ingredient and for cooking. But the truth of the matter is regardless if
you use it as an ingredient to your salads or for frying fish, the macadamia nut
oil can provide you with a host of skin benefits.
This nutrient-dense oil is packed with natural skin moisturizers.
Aside from that, this plant-based oil is also rich in essential fatty acids and
antioxidants that promote the skin healing process following excessive sunburn
and it is also helpful in remedying a range of other skin damage. What many
people are not aware of the macadamia oil is that it has a close affinity to
human skin and actually mimics the natural oil found on our skin. Hence, it is ideal
to use if you want to have that youthful glow on your skin.
Making Your Skin Beautiful from Within
Each time that you consume macadamia nuts or its oil, your whole
body reaps a wide range of benefits but your skin is not left out. Macadamia nut oil is comprised of 80 percent
monounsaturated fats, one of which is the oleic acid. Oleic acid is beneficial
to your health in such a way that it helps reduce cholesterol and protects your
heart from diseases. It’s been found out that macadamia oil is also rich in
palmitoleic acid, a powerful antioxidant that is responsible for promoting good
health of cell membranes of the skin. Additionally, it promotes the regular
hydration of the skin’s surface and is also helpful in enhancing its natural
healing capabilities.
Did you know that when you regularly consume essential fatty acids,
you are less likely to have dry hair, dry skin, brittle nails or dandruff?
Use Macadamia Oil on Your Skin
Due to its natural soothing and moisturizing properties, the very versatile
macadamia oil can be used as a topical solution on the specific problem areas
of your skin such as dry patches, sunburn, scars, or aging skin. You will fall
in love in using macadamia nut oil because it does not give your skin a greasy after-feel and it is easily absorbed
by the skin after application. And if you want to further intensify the
moisturizing and rejuvenating properties of your home-made or over-the-counter
facial masks and oil blends, you can add some of this oil and you can really feel
and see the difference after a week of use.
To make your own body oil concoction, mix together equal parts of
grape seed oil and macadamia nut oil. To this, you need to add 2 parts of apricot kernel oil and almond oil.
Then finally, add a few drops of carrot and jojoba oils for an improved
revitalizing effect. This oil mixture is known to dramatically slow down the
skin aging process. Thus, regular use of this mixture of beautifying botanical
oils will help your skin to regain its once youthful glow.
As we strive to reverse the signs of skin aging, we should be aware
that each one of us has our own unique skin nutritional needs. It differs from
one person to another, and from skin type to another skin type. While the
majority of the skin care products that we have in the market today don’t
contain harsh chemicals, we should be proactive in understanding what natural
ingredients would be suitable for our specific skin care needs with respect to
our age and skin type.
For this, I believe that macadamia nut oil for skin care would be
suitable for all skin types because it is non-comedogenic (does not clog skin
pores) and non-hypoallergenic (does not cause skin allergies).
